5. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
6. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
7. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
8. Installation should be done only by qualified personnel and conform to all local codes.
9. Unless the unit is specifically marked as a NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor use only and it must not
be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
10. Use only installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum specified load.
11. Use stainless steel hardware to fasten the mount to outdoor surfaces.
12. AN ALL-POLE MAINS SWITCH with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be incorporated in the electrical installation of
the building.
CAUTION:
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any
servicing other that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Only use replacement parts recommended by Pelco.
The product and/or manual may bear the following marks:
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is
present within this unit.
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions
in the literature accompanying this unit.
CAUTION:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.

Description
The EH2500 Series enclosures are sealed, dust-tight, and waterproof camera enclosures designed to protect a CCTV camera and lens from
adverse environmental conditions.
The EH2500 Series feature a sled for camera mounting and a “T” handle on the rear plate to assist in removing the rear plate during installation
and servicing.
All models will accept CCD cameras with fixed focal length or motorized zoom lenses.

Installation
The following items are supplied:
Qty Description
1 EH2500 Series enclosure
1 Hex wrench, 3/32" (Pelco # ZT-ALLEN3/32)
1 Hex wrench, 5/64" (Pelco # ZT-ALLEN5/64)
1 1/4” x 1” O.D. fender washer
1 Desiccant bag
2 1/4-20 x .375-inch Phillips pan head screws and flat washers (for camera mounting; only one screw and washer required)
ENCLOSURE MOUNTING
The enclosure can be mounted to a wall/ceiling/pedestal mount, or pan and tilt. For proper installation, refer to the instructions supplied with the
mount or pan and tilt. The enclosure should be attached to the mount or pan/tilt by a minimum of two 1/4-20 fasteners (not supplied).
Always use a service loop, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 to prevent water from entering the enclosure.

CAMERA AND LENS INSTALLATION
To install the camera and lens, perform the following steps:
1. Use the supplied 5/64-inch hex wrench and loosen the screws located on the back of the enclosure.
2. Pull on the "T" handle and slide the camera sled out of the enclosure.
3. Mount the camera and lens onto the camera sled by doing the following:
a. Extend the lens to the maximum length before positioning the camera and lens.
b. Position the camera and lens so that they do not extend beyond the track.
c. Attach the camera and lens to the camera sled with the supplied fender washer, and one 1/4-20 x .375-inch Phillips pan head screw
and washer.
POWER AND CAMERA CONNECTIONS
NOTE:
To prevent the entrance of dust or water, proper cabling must be used when wiring the enclosure. Use of flat cable or multiple cables will
prevent the proper seal of the liquidtight gland connectors. Outdoor-rated sheathing should cover multiple cables. It is especially important that
you seal an unused gland connector.
To make all power and camera connections, follow the steps below:
1. If you have a heater, add the camera’s wattage to the wattage of the heater (the heater consumes 15 watts.) Maximum camera input
voltage must not exceed 240 VAC, and maximum camera power consumption must not exceed 10 watts.
2. Determine the size of the wire to use. If you are using 24 VAC, refer to Table B.
3. Bring power wires for the heater and camera into the enclosure.
4. Connect the enclosure input power, camera input power, and video cable (refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6).
NOTES:
•The wiring diagram in Figure 5 (24 VAC) and Figure 6 (120/230 VAC) are for applications where the input voltage for the enclosure and cam-
era are different. For example, the enclosure input voltage is 120 VAC and the camera input voltage is 24 VAC.
• However, you may have an application where the input voltage for the enclosure and camera are the same. For example, the enclosure
input voltage is 120 VAC and the camera input voltage is 120 VAC. In applications where the input voltage for the enclosure and camera are
the same, wire the terminal block as follows:
(1) Connect the input power for the enclosure to terminal 3 (AC LINE) and terminal 4 (AC NEUTRAL).
(2) Connect a jumper wire from terminal 1 to 3 and a jumper wire from terminal 2 to 4.
5. Connect the ground wire for the enclosure power to the ground stud on the back of the enclosure. Refer to Tables A and B for information
on wiring size and distances.
6. Attach the wires from the camera to the two-pin camera power connector (provided). Connect the two camera power connectors together.
7. If the camera input voltage is 120 VAC/230 VAC, ground the camera to the ground stud located on the camera sled.
WARNING:
If you have a model with a heater, disconnect the heater wiring connectors before removing the camera sled from the
enclosure. Damage to the heater wires may occur if the sled is pulled out too far before the wiring connectors are separated.

REASSEMBLE THE ENCLOSURE
1. Place the desiccant bag in the enclosure.
2. Slide the camera sled back into the enclosure.
3. Reinstall the screws in the rear plate.
MAINTENANCE
Regularly scheduled maintenance is not required. Clean the outer surface of the enclosure with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and antistatic
cleaner. Clean the viewing window with a mild nonabrasive soap and water to maintain picture clarity. Do not use kerosene or similar
substances that may damage the surface.
